A Quinpool Road institution since 1956, Freeman's is where you go if you're willing to pay a little more for a slice of the city's best pizza. Its proximity to Dalhousie University and King's College keeps a steady influx of students canoodling in its cozy booths on weekend nights, likely devouring either the meaty Iron Worker (pepperoni, bacon, ham and Italian sausage) or the spicy house specialty (sausage, feta, tomato, green pepper and red onion).
For a taste of New York without the big-city attitude, check out Freeman's Little New York, which is a haven for late-night diners seeking a classy, relaxed atmosphere with stylish, dark wood décor. This spot has been feeding weary Haligonians since 1956, serving hot baked pizza, burgers, pasta and sandwiches, as well as fish and steak dishes. The Freemans Mighty Bleu cheeseburger will wake up your palate, with chunks of blue cheese melting its way through the burger.
At Freeman’s, you and your friends can sit back and relax over good food and good drinks. The place is decorated like an old-time New York diner, and often features live music and trivia nights and occasional karaoke sessions. Order the gluten-free burgers, nachos, pizza and beer from the dedicated gluten-free menu.
